New Study Shows Epigenetic Process Controls Cancer-Killing Cells
…immune system that turns genes on and off by modifying proteins called histones embedded in DNA, is required for natural killer cells to mature and function properly. To date, there…

…further to elucidate the epigenetic mechanisms involved in the process. HDACs are a class of enzymes that remove histone acetyl epigenetic modifications, thus allowing DNA to condense around histones and…
…were the epigenetic changes noted? The team noted that the DNA sequence was not changed in the short 1 week window, so they turned to the epigenetic relationship between RNA…
…pathways that are engaged during cancer development. Previous studies have found that exposure to inflammatory stimuli can attach epigenetic marks to the DNA that alter chromatin accessibility, opening up access…
…Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard developed light-inducible transcriptional effectors (LITEs) — an optogenetic two-hybrid system integrating the TALE DNA-binding domain with a light-sensitive cryptochrome 2 protein and its partner…
…domain in numerous transcription factors. Previous research shows that it plays a role in cellular differentiation and proliferation, DNA damage repair response, transcriptional regulation, and apoptosis. By blocking the expression…
…chemicals called acetyl groups to the proteins that package DNA, called histones,” noted one of the lead authors on this study, Dr. Shelley Berger, director of the Penn Epigenetics Institute…
…by the enzyme USP22. Previous articles have discussed the role of histone modifications in the blood and how these proteins can affect DNA structure and thus gene expression. Like other…
